This is just normal for Honduras do not let it bother you!!
I crossed twice last year like scrabble biker only in reverse of her route.
Went through 5 check points and never stopped once, At El Amatillo i hired a helper and agreed on $5.00 before hand, the crossing took 1 hour. I liked the interaction with the helper and treated him with respect and he treated me fine. Unlike other moto travellers who get all wound up about the helpers I feel they are real people, you just have to pick the one you like, and you need to speak a little Spanish.
The sit down protest is also my way of dealing with bogus tickets and has worked 90% of the time in all of Latin America. I do not understand spending $140.00 at a border crossing that should only be $35.00 dont let it happen.
Feliz Viaje!
